Welcome to WWW Wednesday! This meme was formerly hosted by MizB at A Daily Rhythm and revived here on Taking on a World of Words. Just answer the three questions below and leave a link to your post in the comments for others to look at. No blog? No problem! Just leave a comment with your responses. Please, take some time to visit the other participants and see what others are reading. So, let’s get to it!

The Three Ws are:

What are you currently reading? What did you recently finish reading? What do you think you’ll read next?

Currently reading: I’ve continued to make progress on Bel Canto by Ann Patchett but I’d really like to wrap it up soon. I’ve been reading this one since I was in Europe in July and I’d love to put it to rest and move on to another book.
I’m still waiting on The Poe Shadow by Matthew Pearl and finishing up some book club picks in the meantime. I’ll get back to it, but it might not be until November or so.
I finished the first half of A Column of Fire by Ken Follett and am still deeply in love. I want to finish this one, but I want it to drag at the same time.
With my husband working a lot, I’m home alone and doing chores a lot of the time so I’ve been able to make great progress with The Girl in the Spider’s Web by David Lagercrantz. I think Lagercrantz has been a good pick to follow Larsson so far. We’ll see if I keep feeling that way, but so far I’m a fan.
I started Artemis by Andy Weir and I’m trying to rush through. I want to get this one finished and go to the discussion but I need to read another book club pick for a group I’m already committed to. I have too many book club problems.

Recently finished: I finished The Children’s Home by Charles Lambert over the weekend. I’m not sure how I felt about this one. Let’s just say I’m glad I have a book club meeting surrounding this book because I’m not really sure what happened in the last third of it and I was so upset by the sudden ending that I don’t want to Google it to find out. I think I’ll skip this author in the future, though. It was not my thing at all.

Reading Next: I have another book club obligation that I need to get to and that’s Dark Matter by Blake Crouch. I think it will be a great Halloween read so I hope I can get to it soon. The meeting isn’t until the end of the month so I’m hopeful I can start it soon, it looks good!

Happy Wednesday! I’m looking forward to getting to Ken Follett eventually! I’m so glad you’re loving Column of Fire! Yeah, I got The Children’s Home on NetGalley a while ago and had to DNF it – definitely not my thing either and I didn’t get what was happening! LOL!

Although I haven’t read it, I’m sorry to hear you didn’t care for The Children’s Home but, as you say, it will at least make a good book club discussion. It’s great though that you’re enjoying lots of the other books you’re reading. I read Dark Matter a while back and thought it was really clever and a great read even if it was a little mind-bending at times.

I’m so glad to hear that you’re enjoying the Girl in the Spider’s Web! I really enjoyed the Girl with the Dragon Tattoo series but have always been a bit skeptical about the new writer. Maybe I’ll have to check it out!

You seem to be in a lot of book clubs, or one book club that reads a LOT! If you don’t mind, can share which ones you take part of, if any of them are online? I’ve been thinking about trying to do a group read and wasn’t sure where to look for a good group.

I’m in two and both are through my local library and meet in person. I used to run a digital book club of sorts but that stopped when I started school. I’m thinking of reviving when I graduate. Happy reading!

That’s unfortunate to hear about The Children’s Home, it sounded quite interesting to me last week. I look forward to reading more of your thoughts in depth when you review it, assuming it hasn’t alienated you too badly.

I’ve been wondering whether I should read The Girl In The Spiderweb or not; good to hear it’s a good one so far. And Dark Matter is one of my all time favorites! I hope you will enjoy it. Have a wonderful week and happy reading! Here’s my WWW.
